This is the infamous beer cozy from my Australian pal Jason. This came in a package of other stuff (like a mousepad and a keychain with monster trucks on them), because we had this long-running (gag? joke? contest?) thing where we’d send weird stuff to each other in the mail. (I am still the all-time winner, thankyouverymuch.) I haven’t ever used the beer cozy thing for beer, but I use it for looking at and laughing, so it’s a fine, fine gift. Plus, sometimes, people see it and say, "Are those kangaroos… oh my." In case you’re interested, it says, on the non-humping-kangaroo side, "PARABURDOO INN Western Australia Home of Bullshit & Beer" so it’s really classy all the way around.

I know. I’m a sick, sick individual. Blame Jason.

Lurking in the background: monkey-in-fez bobblehead. Because everybody loves a monkey in a fez!

That sheep is pretty awesome. Sometime I should take a picture of the menagerie of weirdness I have on my desk, which includes, but is not limited to two (two!!!) Jesus action figures, a monkey-in-fez bobblehead, the pictured kangaroos, and Johnny Depp. Ah, Johnny Depp.
